Pork Roast ACT ll

Today I pulled some more meat off of the roast I made yesterday and we had soft tacos.

I forgot to tell you to save the broth you have from cooking the roast. Put the broth in the refrigerator and after about an hour take it out and skim off the excess fat. Then you can strain the broth and have a clear stock that is wonderful for making rice, cooking pasta or making sauces or gravy. Just substiture broth for water in your recipe.

Pulled Pork Tacos

Pulled pork about 1 1/2 cups
Sour cream
Salsa
Broth from roast
Gucamole recipe follows


Pulled off enough pork to make 4 tacos about 1 1/2 cups.
In a saucepan put 1/4 cup of the broth from the roast and about 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning.
Heat the broth and seasoning and add the meat. Let it cook until warm and most of the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat.

In a clean warm skillet place a flour tortilla. Let the tortilla begin to brown. Flip and brown other side. Remove from pan and fill with meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.

This is messy and I ate it with my fork but it sure was good.

Guacamole

2 ripe avocados peeled and mashed
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper

Mash avocado squeeze lemon and add seasonings and mix well. Let stand in refrigerator for 1 hour. You can add sour cream if you want a smoother quacamole. We like it kind of chunky. Goes great with a chunky salsa.

Lola's Macaroni and Cheese

Today I am sharing Tricia and Lee Ann's favorite dish. This is a recipe from Lola, a sweet angel that took care of Tricia and Lee Ann for me when they were little. We all love her dearly. And this is the best Mac and Cheese we have ever had. Love you Lola!

LOLA’S MACARONI AND CHEESE

2 cups uncooked macaroni
2 cups milk
¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 ½ cups sharp cheddar divided
1 cup soft white bread cubed ( remove crust from 4 slices cut enough to lightly cover top of casserole)
¼ cup butter melted

Cook macaroni by package directions: drain and set aside
Warm Milk in microwave for 1 min.
Mix together milk, flour, onion powder with wire whisk. Whisk for 1 min. until smooth.
Stir together, flour mixture, macaroni and 3 ½ cups of cheese.
Pour into lightly greased 13 x 9 or two 8-9” square casserole dishes.

Cover with remaining 1 cup of cheese and spread breadcrumbs evenly over top. Drizzle the melted butter over the bread crumbs.

Bake 350 for 45 min or until golden brown.

For 2 to 4 people the square 9” casserole size is great and you can freeze or refrigerate the second casserole. But if you have a crowd they will gobble up the whole thing so go for 9 x 13!

Have a good day :)
